Fish from tho Gulf of Mexico.

New Orleans Times-Democrat There
have been from all along the gulf coast
this year the most favorable reports as
to the fishing. The catch has been
everywhere phenomenally fine, and
whether Spanish mackerel, reddish, red
snapper, or silver fish, the returns have
been good, better by long odds than
for any previous season. When the
Bonnet Care crevasse was closed sew
eral years ago one of the arguments in
its favor was that it's closing would i'm
prove the fishing along the Mississippi
coast, the fresh water from the river
having had a very injurious effect in
driving off the saltwater fish and ruin
ing the oyster-beds. In one sespect
it did have all that was expected of it.
The oyster-beds along the coast have
revived, the oysters improved in size,
flavor, and quality, aud oyster packing
and shipping have become an impor-
tant industry. 1t has latterly been
found that the gulf mullet, which have
hitherto been despised and used only
for bait, make a very good brand of
salt fish, and it is probable that other
varieties Of the finny tribe in the gulf,
now overlooked, can be utilized profit
ably.

Sad Effects Of Ear-Boxinc.

Science publishes some valuable rec
ords collected by DR.. Samuel Sexton
on the observed effects of boxing the
ears. DR.. Sexton has ffty-one cases
upon his records in which the ear has
been injured by blows of the open
hand or fist. The nature of the in
juries varied considerably One had
inflammation of the ear, with suspicion
of intracranial trouble, and a running
Of the ear for twelve years following a
blow upon that organ. This patient
subsequently died Of brain disease. In
another case the ear became infiamed
and the hearing very much impaired.
In another case the patient was slapped
by his father on the left ear and inn
mediate pain and deafness ensued,
with bloody discharge, from which he
was three months in recovering.
The dangers to which DR.. Sexton
calls attention are SO grave that parents
and all others should choose some
other method Of Furnishing their chill
dren than boxing the ears. It is not
improbable that, if DIR. Sexton pursues
his inquiries further, he will find other
cases in which brain disease has follow
ed his barbarous practice.

A Very Sad Little Story.

She was the wife of a laboring man,
good woman who struggled hard to
keep her house neat and her children
well dressed, but she had a violent
temper. It was Saturday, and the two
little children, Ben and Alice, were
ready for an excursion. Ben wore a
white suit, which his mamma had made
for him and of which she was very
proud. Just as Ben was leaving home
the mother discovered black spot on
the dazzling white suit.
''What's that she asked, sharply.
"Only a dease spot, mamma, only a
little dease spot
"I'll make a grease spot out of you, :"
she exclaimed angrily, trying to strike
him.
Little Ben lodged, but ran his head
against the sharp edge of the bureau.
When she picked him up he was I'M
conscious.
The physician found the child
delirious, and pronounced the case
brain-fever. It was quick in its
work, and Ben was soon still and cold.
In darkened room sat the mother
by the side of the little coffin. Alice
stole in quietly and tugged at her dress.
mamma, darling, is Bonnie dease
spot now?''
Sobs, choking sobs, answered her.
